I remember seeing a tweet of his one night about getting ready for a work out...at 2am or something. That's dedication.

Off topic but what the inspiration for your username?
You don't understand. He's not on Raw every week. How can you not understand this?

I just chalk it up to classic racism.
Anyone in this thread that disparages The Rock is a racist in my book.

When I bought my Xbox 360 I couldn't come up with a username to call myself online. One of my friends just said "HarryDemeanor" and I used it as my online name ever since. Not a whole lot of history behind it. Just a bunch of nonsense.NoRéN;36109867 said:
Oh no. He was so damn uninteresting during his last run. I guess WWE is just desperate for capable big men these days.
Holy shit, this is awesome news.
Giant Bernard is terrific in New Japan and much improved since his tenure as Albert in the WWF.
haha. Good stuff. I was hoping your name was Harry and you like to be all scruffy and wildernessman-like.
I figure that would be fun to hear. I imagine xbox live sessions after HarryDemeanor gets a kill to be like, " Fuck you, HarryDemeanor you f*****!"

I wonder if they'll call him Albert, or give him a different name. It isn't like most of the audience will remember him.
But he has been great in New Japan. Glad to see him back.
That's a good point.

Mr. Excitement, living up to his nickname, is out on the town looking to add a little excitement to the evening. There he spots something neon and alluring out of the corner of his eye: a tattoo parlor. Despite Mr. Otunga's protest, Big Johnny walks into the shop because, "He has a good feeling about that place". There he meets *insert cool name here*, the imposing shop owner.
A few moments pass and out comes Big Johnny, grinning that Big Johnny grin but with no tattoos or piercings in sight. Instead he is followed Albert whom he has hired to be his personal administrator of sorts, the man in charge of keeping the talent in line.
if you drop otunga and khali, it would be interesting thats for sure

Wait a sec! Heavy left because someone didn't agree with him? Heh!
Yeah, Teddy needs to go.
Don't make fun of him! He and Cody represent all people with lisps, dammit! Can you imagine how much it sucks to have an S in your name when you have a lisp? Huh? HUH?
On a scale from least to most I guess it goes
Cody > Swagger > Dusty Rhodes
Dammit! Now I'm trying to recall the AoW podcast with someone sharing a Dusty Rhodes story involving a spider. The person telling the story did a great impression of Dusty.
edit: It's on the AoW podcast with Luke Gallows.

Swagger is the most useless pos I have ever seen.

How would you feel if they gave him some swag?

Would let Tony Parker sleep with his wife
in ECW he was great...went undefeated right to the title
then he showed up on Raw.....
then he won MitB and cashed it in the same week....
then he wasn't the cocky guy anymore and they put him in a suit
then he finally lost the title and never got a rematch
then he was stuck in limbo before showing up on the first Smackdown on SyFy with the greatest manager of all time...
DAT EAGLE
The Eagle was more over than Cena
I think the whole storyline with Big Show with the trophy and beating up Swagger's dad killed everything

I figured you would embrace the hate tumblr, what with your heel-turn and all.
Nice. They'll call him Big Al...
You're asking for consistency and continuity, I work for the WWE.

Not all of us
Preach! The Swagle was the fucking best. Of course, they fucked that up. Not only was that Big Show shit bad, but then they stuck him with Cole for that Lawler feud and it was all downhill from there, and he still hasn't recovered.in ECW he was great...went undefeated right to the title

Very happy to hear Giant Bernard is getting another chance in WWE. He has done very well for himself in Japan the last couple of years and improved a lot. We're moving into a period where WWE is no longer hesitant to sign up well known names in the indy and international scenes. If all goes well the roster in a few years time will be a big improvement over what we have now.

Albert/A-Train got so much better in Japan, it's crazy. He's not even remotely the same wrestler he was during his first run.
Glad to see him getting another shot.

Awesome news about Albert, I wonder what Karl Anderson will do now though? He's had some good singles matches in New Japan, but Bad Intentions was always the main attraction and, unlike Bernard, he wasn't ever really in any of the singles titles picture.
Speaking of New Japan, here's the latest show, featuring a huge 10 man tag match with Yuji Nagata, Hiroyoshi Tenzan, Satoshi Kojima, Togi Makabe & Wataru Inoue facing off against Minoru Suzuki, Yoshihiro Takayama, Lance Archer, TAKA Michinoku & Taichi.

You are the equivalent of a smirking Cena in my promo adorned with red lighting and dramatic background music.
They can just call him "Attitudinal Albert" for his new ring name, then he gets buried by Cena for coming to close to the attitude adjustment name.
Really though, i'm intrigued to see how much better he is now.

Everything. His promo work is better, more aggressive and intense, he comes across as a real monster (probably helped by the fact that, unlike WWE, there's no one else quite as large as Giant Bernard in New Japan). In-ring, he benefited a ton from the longer New Japan style matches, being able to utilise a greater diversity of moves and a ton of smaller opponents to work with and bump big for him, not to mention being in one of the most successful and dominant gaijin tag teams for years in Japan.
If you want to see some good recent matches of his, check these out;
